Very sad local news.

Anyone else see the connection to DZ.com?

We too have had low timers insist that their actions were 'safe' and that they would be 'fine' despite the warnings of people who knew far better. Our low timers have also ended up dead.

What's erie about this situation is the time line. That kid was posting all the stuff one day, his final post indicating that he would be posting pics the next day. Before sunrise, he was dead.

Very similar to what we get here, but just compressed into a 12 or 15 hour time period.

You could copy that posting from that forum and use it as a tool to scare these skydiving newbies back to earth. Just a thought. Sure it's a different scenario that has nothing to do with skydiving, but use the attitude of the dead guy as a correlation. "See what I mean? You're talking like this guy, and he's dead."

Good idea but if they can't correlate to our selection of now deceased posters, something completely different won't make any sense.

Some people just can't grasp concepts and get too caught up in the details.

Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

There is at least one individual that needed that shown to him last March, but it probably wouldn't have made any difference - he was just like that - It didn't matter - now it will never matter.

I think that the above holds true for most of those that need it shown to them . . . kind of ironic, no?

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

True, but as long as you tried to get across, then you did what you could.

Yeah - I'm sure that everyone is consoled by that . . .because people DID tell him . . . It still made no difference.

I could have been one of them, then had friends talk to me. I listened. I'm still here, and they're still scratching their heads that I actually could hear them.
